The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pollen Grains**: Pollen grains are the male gametophytes in flowering plants (angiosperms) that play a crucial role in reproduction. They contain the male gametes. 2. **Definition of Culpus**: The term 'culpus' refers to a long furrow-like aperture on the surface of the pollen grain. This structure is important for classifying pollen grains. 3. **Types of Culpate Pollen Grains**: - **Monocolpate**: Pollen grains with a single culpus (furrow). - **Bicolpate**: Pollen grains with two colpates. - **Tricolpate**: Pollen grains with three colpates. - **Polycolpate**: Pollen grains with more than three colpates. 4. **Classification in Angiosperms**: In angiosperms, there are two primary types of pollen grains based on the number of colpates: - **Monocolpate**: Typically found in monocots (e.g., grasses). - **Tricolpate**: Generally found in dicots (e.g., roses, beans). 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the classification, the pollen grain of angiosperms is predominantly monocolpate, especially in monocots. Therefore, the answer to the question is that the pollen grain of angiosperms is **Monocolpate**.
